The future of game distribution is always just around the corner. This article discusses alternatives to the standard disk-based distribution system
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
I will never be for full digital distribution of full games. Just for the simple fact I like owning the actual case, art work, manual, disc and not to mention I don't wanna be stuck with a game for ever. If I buy a game I should be able to sell it when I please, if its all digital I can't do that. I would rather carry my game discs around and be able to let my friends borrow them, or be able to sell my games then have the "easier" option of a USB stick in my pocket.
I can defo see it and id rather be on steam if thats the case lol they have the best offers and i can play with a pad just have to move my pc so i can feel more console-ish (i feel more relxed gaming on consoles then pc,but psn store is better then live market place psn puts any type of game on offer or anything on offer xbox live market place its just arcade games
plus working with real money beats nintendo and microsoft points anyday
yeah, i just like the idea of buying it once and getting access to it digitally. example, i bought fable II, it got a minute scratch on it so i couldnt play it, and i had to buy another copy. I already had license to the media, but the medium was what was damaged. so i had to pay for another copy/license when i should have been able to just download it or something
Until the companies figure out they need to charge 5 or 10 percent less for digital copies of games than for real copies sold in stores digital distribution will never take off.
Their saving money from the production line to the clerk in the store.
They obviously see this savings in the gleeful greedy eyes of corporate profit. They don't have to cut out all the extra profit. They just need to give back to gamers for not having physical copies.
Everytime I see things price for price the same I'll go for physical.
or have a digital distribution backup as part of Xbox Live and PSN+
and steam is usually pretty well priced especially as the game gets older they know how to depreciate and have good sales. Half Life 2 was 6.99 a few weeks ago!
